Well, get used to it. Fact is we start out, right out of the chute, w/ our entire collective testimony in question. Why? Cause anything after "It all started when I was a teenager in rehab" is about as impressive to most people as whatever might follow "I used to be crazy, but I'm much better now."
Maybe that's why you're hung up on the details? Listen, the media gets a few things wrong damned near every time. Just look at how many variations on the name "Christ at the Beach Foundation" have been printed lately. Or just look at any halfway decent national or local newspaper and you'll find a corrections section. Sometimes they're quite humorous.
I hadn't known, or maybe I forgot, that Sammie was ever in LIFE. Are you sure that's a fact? Or are you passing on something that's not true? Would that make you like the man in the old joke who was born in the town of liars and so cannot ever tell the truth, no matter what?
Of course not.
It takes a thousand voices to tell just one story.
One does not have to appeal to God to set the initial conditions for the creation of the universe, but if one does He would have to act through the laws of physics.
